Cigarrest

Just a word to the wise from experience...
DO NOT ORDER THE CIGARREST PRODUCT!
The television commercial indicates that they will send you a "FREE TRIAL" if you only pay shipping. It includes "herbal, all natural" stop smoking placebo’s, vitamins, and even "minty" gum. They advertise that if you are not satisfied within thirty days that you need only call to cancel and all future shipments will be canceled.
What they do not explain is that they send in the initial shipment a 90 day supply for which, regardless of your cancel order, they will bill you nearly $70 per month for the next two months. And if you complain, they will not reimburse you.
I don’t suppose I need to tell anyone that if you are already living on a budget, an unauthorized deduction of $70 from ones account can easily cause an overdraft, for which your bank will also charge you an absorbent fee which sends you even further into arrears.
I don’t believe that the Cigarrest Company acts in good faith and I believe that their commercial is intentionally misleading.
High priced "patch" therapy, which is available in every community anywhere, are more effective, not to mention HONEST.
But if you really want to quit smoking, just lay the damned things down and quit. It’s hard, but people do it every day! You can, too.
